766 The Discovery (2/2)
”Anyway, the discovery of antiparticles will be forever remembered by the history of arcana. We've stepped out of the world that had been trapping us. Now we're even closer to the truth.”
”Maybe nothing bigger than this will show up for a very, very long time,” said Rachel, who also turned to look at the blue sky outside. ”After the past ten years of rapid development, it seems that arcana has hit the plateau. The next groundbreaking finding has to keep brewing for a long time.”
......
Traveling through the layers of space and time, Lucien saw the countless shadowy and overlapping sections in front of him, just like when he cast Regather.
......
When the dazzling light retreated, Ali felt very uncomfortable, but the refreshing feeling brought by the potion gave him the energy to look around eagerly.
Ali did not take a glance at the mysterious magic circles or the cold alchemy facilities, and he did not even greet the arcanists on-site. Instead, he directly looked out of the window.
The incredible darkness and endless deep space had instantly struck Ali's mind.
Against the darkness, the white light spots were pure. They were not shining, but just hanging there quietly, as if nothing in the past millions of years ever changed them.
He turned to look down, and there were the same boundless darkness and pure stars. The students were deeply shocked by the loneliness and the realization of their own insignificance.
Was this cosmos?
Nothing mattered when compared to it…
Layria walked to her friends and handed them the journal, ”Our teacher has found positive electrons! From cosmic rays!”
”That's awesome!” Annick said very cheerfully.
Katrina also had a big smile on her face. ”There will be more observatories in the future as more people will want to use them!”
”Heidi, you don't want to take a look at it?” Layria asked.
Heidi muttered, ”The experiment is in the key stage… I believe that Mr. Evans has actually founded positive electrons a long time ago, or he wouldn't all of a sudden want to set up a cosmic observatory… Ahh!”
However, her muttering was cut off by her shout.
The rest of them turned around and asked in surprise, ”What is it?”
”A new track… different from that of an electron or a proton…” Heidi muttered in a low voice while calculating fast in her mind.
Then she sprang up from her seat and exclaimed, ”Its mass is more than two hundred times heavier than that of an electron! It's a new particle! Very likely to be the one predicted by Her Excellency Hathaway!”
”What? A new particle?!” They were all very surprised.
Ali looked at them with confusion. He saw the boundless cosmic, the pure stars, and Heidi, whose hands were still on the alchemy device.
New particle?
Why wasn't it mentioned in the textbooks?
Did he just witness a historic moment?
......
Lucien could see better now. But then the blinding glare came at him.
Even though Lucien had cast the special spell to protect his eyes, he still could not help squinting. A huge fireball was burning in the air. Although Lucien had the protection from Space Staff and he was still far away from the fireball, the incredible and extremely high temperature was still formidable.
The fireball looked a bit blurry and distant.
Lucien closed his eyes and gently sighed.
”Sun…”
The space and time around him suddenly started to change, and it began to project a starry sky.
